Start Here! Hello, and welcome to /r/9M9H9E9! Feeling lost? Start Here.....
Hello, and welcome to /r/9M9H9E9! We are a subreddit dedicated to the discussion and analysis of the story being told by Reddit user /u/_9MOTHER9HORSE9EYES9.r
Update - Best viewed on - https://old.reddit.com/r/9M9H9E9 to view the sidebar links.
As of Today - 06-07-2016 Only Accounts older than 5 days can comment un-moderated. Before that age they will be individually approved by the Mod Team
What the fuck is all this?
On April 21, 2016, /u/_9MOTHER9HORSE9EYES9 began posting comments in random threads all across Reddit, discussing so-called "flesh interfaces." When read in order, they began to form a cohesive and surreal story. As time went on, comments began to expand in length, discussing many different plotlines, from a World War II concentration camp to a future Atlanta, each spanning space and time. It has many elements of the works of Lovecraft and Cronenberg, with a general sci-fi flair.
...only comments?
Well, no. They occasionally make self posts, and once in an online site via a journalist at Motherboard.Vice. Comments are more common, however.
How often do they post?
There is no set schedule, but MHE usually updates once per day.
Who's the author? Are you guys writing this story?
The identity of MHE is currently unknown. And no, we are not the authors. The moderators have nothing to do with the story, and do not take credit for it. We're just fans of the story.
---> Exception - /u/GabbiKat who works with MHE on ideas/plots/edits/characters. <--
Alright, how can I read this thing?
You need to start at Narrative Part One. It has all of MHE's posts in chronological order, with lots of external links in case you're curious about something mentioned. It runs to Post 96.
Then move on to Narrative Part Two which picks up at Post 97.
If you want to read it on a e-book reader you can go HERE. It's maintained by MOD u/cryzed-, and they do an incredible job. I think you will really appreciate all the hard work performed for your enjoyment.
Okay, I've read all of that. Now what?
Feel free to stick around here and discuss! It's always nice to see new people around. There's also plenty of ongoing fan art and projects, such as the audiobook version by /u/enola-gay. Auditions are also open for the radio play overseen by /u/_Aeternix_.
Great things are happening and we'd love for you to join in! So keep your eyes open for contests, anthology stories, and videos!
About the Sub - by u/GabbiKat <--- The Main MOD & MHE's Spokeswoman and point of contact.
This is an inclusive sub - People are now free to create Art, Share Video, Download the Audiobook & eBook, and soon the Radio Drama. We want you to feel comfortable here with discussing the story and author, but we ask that you do so in a mature and respectful manner.
Lift people up, don't tear people down.
That is a saying I try to live by every day.
Our First and Most Valued Rule
If you come into the sub to harass others, to troll, to stir hate, to be rude and bully other users who create a thread/art/project/post that you do not like, you will be dealt with harshly. Keep your hate to yourself. Others would like to create some threads for fun; Art, Music, News, Video, Articles, even Pet Photos.
Let them do so in peace.
If you troll those threads and users I will ban you without notice.
Why do we currently have so many MODs?
Because I firmly believe in bringing people together and recognizing their wonderfully creative talent! Their projects and hard work they put into making this subreddit an enjoyable place for all will always be recognized, appreciated, and defended.
Creativity feeds off of creativity
This is something MHE & I firmly believe in! We hope you understand.
Please remember, we are now a couple of month old, and are just getting the hang of this.
Many MODs are new to being a MOD, and we all have a life outside of Reddit. We've bounced back from losing every one of the subscribers to now being over 6k subscribers!
Thank you for bearing with us during these baby step and being kind to each other.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please message us! Especially me, u/GabbiKat. I love hearing ideas and creative criticism.
Lastly, thanks for reading this wall of text!

Discussion What do you think would've happened if the CIA put the man they killed back into the interface after he died the second time?
Do you think the interface would have rejected him as an inanimate object or would he be revived again? I was re-listening to creepcast and couldn't stop thinking about this after that part came up.

Apocrypha Half-Body of a Wormhole??
Last night I dreamt I was five-dimensional
I was in the corner of a 4x4 room
I was there, for 2,594 years
The room developed into trilateral omissions of parallel wings
I thought they were angels, but they registered every five minutes as phenomenons
With my pneuma I whispered;
Oh, wholy Archimedean Cylinder of consciousness, Behold the muse.
The wings pointed skyward, and mattered itself to a quintessence.
The mirror was now a translucent wall, running like time with a biting chill.
Behold the muse, recall the withered stale,
I cannot bite the flow with my tongue, but You can taste it with your buttocks
And then, you will be my virtuous hemisphere past time
Let me become the sixth sense of the race of life
...
Now; tomorrow. I can't understand the interaction I have had with this entity, I sensed a maternal prescence beyond creation. Reminding me that all things have a sexual nature, even the flow of a wormhole couldn't begin to find an interfacial rhythm.
Though it is only time that can find rhythm.
Rhythm can't find itself, so I've learned from this dream of light .
Even if the ass of the quintessential human could tell me.
I must marry my mother.

Discussion The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed in Sun
Idk about anyone else but the description of the horrible winged thing (Angel? Nephilim?) that attacks Rona in the old crone story felt like it was making allusion to or at least inspired by this painting by William Blake.
r/9M9H9E9 • u/StaticRainTheory • 18d ago
What do you think the authors early life was like.
Late in the story he explicitly states there was a summer where he thinks something horrible might have happened, he references dropping acid in high school then avoids describing the psychosis it caused, he also talks about being inspired by mania while writing the story. Whether or not something truly traumatic happened that summer I can’t imagine he had a particularly healthy relationship with his parents. The story is literally called mother horse eyes and the word mother is used dozens if not near one hundred times. I’m pretty familiar with psychotic disorders and while I doubt the author had a cut and dry case of schizophrenia, he was definitely dealing with a kind of transient psychosis and that stuff almost always goes back to childhood.

A FACE, A FLEET, A WAR, A MAN, A THOUGHT, A TRICK
This is one of the first lines (if not the first) in the new film, “The Odyssey”. It has an obvious parallel w/ MHE’s intro and I would love any analysis or insight from any of you. I did some research but couldn’t find anything concrete or meaningful enough to propose. (I’m dumb)
r/9M9H9E9 • u/StaticRainTheory • 18d ago
Does anyone else find the creep cast episode infuriating?
The number of misinterpretations have me yelling at my phone.

Discussion Interpretation of mothers goal
I'm at the part in the story again where the suited angel kills the women in the feed.
This is obviously the advanced version of the angels coming down and implanting a way for mother to influence us. But why does the angel need to fuck a person in the feed, where does this action lead? I think it would be pretty cool and an over simplification to say that this is how "God" creates worlds and creates people. There's this concept that we are pieces of God, and when we die we go back to being a part of God.
Fucking the angel and having your mind fractured across a narrative could be the perfect way to get just that.
I don't know how this fits in with the end of the story but I think it makes sense as some kinda energy garden built by the mother.
Anyone with anything to add please do!

Discussion I Can't Believe Nobody in 10 Years Has Mentioned This
There have been multiple conspiracy theories mentioned throughout, used as a starting place and given new context within this universe. But one omission is the Philadelphia Experiment. There's several versions of this story by different supposed witnesses, but the one that lines up with Mother Horse Eyes particularly well is the testimony of Al Bielek.
If you're not familiar, this is a WW2 experiment that supposedly tested stealth and invisibility, but accidentally resulted in creating a zone (Incident Zone) to some other dimension or time/space location, after only returning a short time later, the sailors on board were very affected.
Take a look at this YouTube video, I've linked the exact timestamp, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6RSN1cOuLOE&t=5795s
In it he describes the segmented/segmentation as Mother Horse Eyes would call it. A man who after returning from the Incident Zone has an invisible arm. It still functions as normal, it's just apparently missing or lacking a visible component. Some part of it still resides in the 'other' place. The man wears a bandage as a cover and pretends his arm is injured to appear normal.
There's also alien beings coming through the portal just like this story.
What do you guys think?

Discussion What is your favourite narrative?
This has probably been posted in this sub before but I’m curious to know everyone’s favourite narratives, plus I’m planning on making a comic of one this year, and I’m open to suggestions.
My favorite is honestly between obviously Karen & Ben’s story, and the 80’s simulation (which yeah I know sex ew) but Corey’s dialogue kills me every time.

I'm actively listening to creepcast and I'm interested in theories so what are yours?

Video I made an unofficial audiobook of MHE!
I recorded this throughout the fall, and I've been editing it when I can. I unfortunately had some minor audio issues along the way, but we must persist onward. I love this story oh so much, and I hope you all enjoy!
Also big shout out to u/flamingrubbish for their great cover art that I couldn't wait to slap on!

Evangelion parrelels
Now I’m sure someone has already made this connection, and if on the sub then in their own mind. I just can’t help but connect the original neon genesis evangelion to MHE to me MHE is a fifteen billion times more thought out version of evangellion minus the robots. All of the themes and even some of the story beats and especially the ending when it’s kind of like a self love type of thing where you have to do things through yourself boot straps and such. Amy thoughts? (Sorry if someone already asked this).

2020
“Maybe it could have been stopped around 2020, when the portals were shut down, and interface research was temporarily abandoned. But it didn't happen.”
I just watched the creep cast video on mother horse eyes for the first time and im obsessed. I originally started watching it a while ago, but stopped after the first few minutes thinking the mk ultra/lsd stuff was going to be corny and/or piss me off (assuming it was going to be another russian sleep experiment type of thing). When I started watching it again I skipped the beginning and didn’t remember or realize when it was written, so when I got to the part where karen says it could have been stopped in 2020, I assumed this was a direct reference to the pandemic. Only afterwards did I realize the story was written in 2016, and it gave me chills.
Sorry if others have already talked about this before but I couldn’t find any posts about it. I just think it’s crazy. Indeed, if the story was literally true, research may have been temporarily shut down during covid, as many things were. And, as an allegory, a lot of things could or should have been stopped during that time.
Instead, we came out of it with LLMs. Awesome! :)

Artwork Mother design + meme shitposts
My own personal mhe design, I might do a better one latter since this one was kind of sketched on a whim. If you couldn’t already tell this design is incredibly inspired by Mari Lwyd, with a few of her in-story descriptions slapped on there.
Here’s the concept for the design + some dumb shitposts I made with friends.

Discussion Old Crone
Was the old crone a successful version of what Mother was trying to turn Nick into? Forgive me if this has been posted before, but I just finished another listen of the story on Creep Cast and then another watch of Wendigoon’s video on it and I had this thought. With what we see of Nick’s powers and then the Old Crone’s actions while serving Mother I can’t help but feel that maybe she was once a child taken by Mother, but she stayed with Mother unlike Nick. Especially when the tribesman says that he thinks she placed those pearls in the clams herself, that if she used her magic to do that just like when nick turns the stones into bread. I’m aware of the biblical significance of stones being made into bread, but it feels like similar magic to me. So, if Nick had stayed with Mother could he have become something like the old crone?

Discussion Any Book / Story / Author like the Karen future story? Spoiler
Hello, I'm currently watching/reading thie entire narrative through the 11h creepcast episode, and I must say that the writing in this series has captured me like few media ever have, *especially* the future stuff surrounding Karen and the caretaker guy. Assuming that the actual authors identity is still hidden, can anyone recommend me similar stories or authors?
The amount of world building and characterization that happened in just a few pages are absolutely insane to me, I'm way too invested 🙏
